ZoneFlex™ 7351802.11N SMART WI-FI ACCESS POINTHigh Performance, 802.11n Mid-Range Smart Wi-Fi Access Point with Adaptive Antenna TechnologyThe Ruckus ZoneFlex 7351 delivers high-performance and reliable 802.11n wireless networking for service providers.

Unlike any other 802.11n wireless solution in its class, the ZoneFlex 7351 combines patented adaptive antenna technology and automatic interference mitigation to deliver consistent, predictable performance at extended ranges with up to an additional 4dB of BeamFlex gain on top of the 2 dBi physical antenna gain and 10dB of interference mitigation.

The ZoneFlex 7351 delivers a 2- to 4-fold increase in signal range with lower packet error rates while reducing the number of APs required to deliver dependable Wi-Fi service.

Each ZoneFlex 7351 integrates Ruckus-patented BeamFlex, a software-controlled, adaptive antenna that continually forms and directs each 802.11n packet over the best performing signal path. The ZoneFlex 7351 automatically selects channels for highest throughput potential using Ruckus ChannelFly dynamic channel management, adapting to environmental changes. Once deployed, there is no need to worry about constant site surveys as the environment changes.

A sleek and low-profile design, the ZoneFlex 7351 is ideal for a variety of hotspot environments including hotels, schools, retail outlets, branch offices and public venues.

The ZoneFlex 7351 can be deployed as part of the centrally-controlled Smart Wireless LAN with the Ruckus ZoneDirector or SmartCell Gateway (SCG) 200. The ZoneFlex 7351 can also be easily deployed using Smart Mesh Networking to extend Wi-Fi services in locations where Ethernet cabling is not available or cost prohibitive.

BENEFITS

Managed Wi-Fi services for carriersService providers can generate additional revenue with managed Wi-Fi services

Extended range requires fewer APs Adaptive antenna technology delivers a 2x to 4x increase in Wi-Fi signal coverage minimizing the number of APs required to service any area

Sleek, low profile enclosure for ease-of-deploymentAesthetically-pleasing design fits almost anywhere with a small form factor and mounting options for small spaces

Channel selection optimizes throughputChannelFly dynamic management, based on throughput measurements, not just interference, chooses the best channel to give users the highest throughput.

Super simple configuration and managementThe industry’s simplest configuration and management through a Web-based wizard and automated deployment capabilities

Flexible deployment optionsZoneDirector controller-based deployment or SmartCell Gateway (SCG) 200

Smart wireless meshing When used with a ZoneDirector Smart WLAN controller or the SmartCell Gateway (SCG) 200, the ZoneFlex 7351 easily extends Wi-Fi services to areas where Ethernet cabling isn’t available, possible or cost effective

Investment protection for legacy Wi-Fi networks Compatible with existing wireless investments, the ZoneFlex 7351 enhances performance and range for legacy 802.11b/g/n clients

ZoneFlex™ 7351802.11N SMART WI-FI ACCESS POINT

Patented BeamFlex™ Technology Extends Signal Range, Improves Stability of Client ConnectionsThe ZoneFlex 7351 Smart Wi-Fi access point integrates a software-controlled smart antenna array that delivers 4dBi of BeamFlex additive signal gain and 10dB of interference mitigation. This allows for a 2 to 4x improvement in signal range and a reduction in packet loss from the ability to automatically mitigate interference and steer around obstacles.

Advanced WLAN Applications with Smart/OSWhen used with the Ruckus ZoneDirector or the SmartCell Gateway (SCG) 200, the ZoneFlex 7351 supports a wide range of value-added applications such as guest networking, Smart Wireless Meshing, Dynamic PSK, hotspot authentication, wireless intrusion detection and many more. With Smart/OS, up to 54 discrete WLANs can be created and mapped to the same or different APs or VLANs. WLANs can also be grouped and shared by specific APs. In a centrally managed configuration, the ZoneFlex 7351 works with a wide range of authentication servers including Microsoft’s Active Directory, LDAP, TACACS, and RADIUS.

Flexible Deployment OptionsZoneFlex 7351 APs can be deployed as part of a centrally managed wireless LAN using ZoneDirector Smart WLAN controllers or the SmartCell Gateway (SCG) 200. ZoneFlex 7351’s can be deployed across any L2/L3 network and/or meshed without Ethernet cabling. When used with the ZoneDirector or the SmartCell Gateway (SCG) 200, the ZoneFlex 7351 is auto-matically configured through the network making deployment quick and easy.

Remote ManagementThe ZoneFlex 7351 can be managed through the Ruckus FlexMaster Wi-Fi remote management system or the SmartCell Gateway (SCG) 200. FlexMaster is a LINUX-based software platform that uses industry-standard protocols to perform bulk configuration, fault detection, monitoring and a wide range of troubleshooting capabilities over a wire area connection.
